You might want to take a look at the turtle plants that are good for them on the site. It says there. I have never heard of the plants you are telling us about so I cant help you on that one.

Here's a link to the list of 'good" plants that's on this site:

As a general rule, any plant that's safe in a tank with freshwater fish is also safe for a turtle. But if you really want to be sure it's safe and healthy, you'll stick to the plants on the list above.

Isn't devil's ivy another name for Pothos? If so, it's not safe, it's poisonous. It's also not an aquatic plant. Neither is a peace lilly.

I think that is right, it's a vine that is green with yellow, I kept it in fish tank with my betta fish.
